When the price is under $350 i might consider buying one. Until then forget it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5395d2b1eab8ea575fe61435PWObserverMon, 09 Jun 2014 11:28:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5395d2b1eab8ea575fe61435
Microsoft came across as the bully in the room with their arrogant product guys grabbing the microphone from an interviewer asking hard ball questions. Microsoft got hit by huge trust issues with the revelations of the NSA having access to consumer info (or did they have access?), at the same time MSFT required the "listening device" Kinect which would always be on. They put paywalls up for Netflix and other already paid for applications. They didn't have games and focused on media. They pummeled the used gamers. They pummeled the used gamers and had the gall to say people could plug in their old XBox 360s into the HDMI port to play older titles.
Sony got hammered years back by their core customers for locking out other operating system installs and their network being hacked and has learned and applied new leadership... and it's paying off.
I suspect XBox "Two" might have a better reception as they do seem to be learning from the many, many mistakes they made with XBox One. But for me it's still too soon to trust Microsoft just yet, they have to wallow in their shame for a year or two more and prove themselves and they are now, just now starting to listen.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5395c8b1ecad040876952134JudgeMathis2014Mon, 09 Jun 2014 10:46:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5395c8b1ecad040876952134

The fact that you can't even spell "teenagers" suggests that you shouldn't be bashing the xbox and should instead be on the Wii U as per you.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5395bc316bb3f78c68952130franklin theturtleMon, 09 Jun 2014 09:52:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5395bc316bb3f78c68952130
6 months too late Microsoft. Big XBOX fan here, but you really blew it here. Sony, with all kinds of financial issues, was in a tough spot. and now, with what may be the last of the $400 consoles, you blow it right out of the gate with the messaging around "used games", you ship a big VCR-looking box, force Kinect on hardcore gamers who see no value, and then charge an extra $100 / console. MSFT should have come out cheaper than the PS4 and with the XBOX live momentum and goodwill, Sony would have crumbled... big miss.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5395b9ba6bb3f79b6395212ePS3_PlayerMon, 09 Jun 2014 09:42:18 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5395b9ba6bb3f79b6395212e
PS4 and XBOX are great. Consumer wins!
My personal opinion:
Casual games and kids under 10 ===> WII U
Teeneagers ===> XBOX
Adults ===> PS3 and PS4
